it looks like Saul Zaentz is the guy that believed in Peter Jackson.

 

Lord of Rings wasn't produced by any major studio. You are right, its highly unlikely major studios would have touched Peter Jackson with a barge pole on a $300mil idea.

 

But the book was always screaming to be made into a film.

lets see the year he started developing the movie .. 97-98? The start of the great bubble, for web startups. people were throwing money with gay abandon.

 

may be he had a great pr, who convinced some money to come his way.

 

the better question to ask is, Did Lord of rings save the US from a depression? :P

 

"We put on this whole pretense that 'The Lord Of The Rings' was eagerly sought after from other studios which was complete crap," Peter Jackson laughed candidly.

It looks like a Warner Bros subsidiary distributed the film.

Its more likely that Warner Bros bought Lord of Rings through Newline Cinema, because they didn't want to look like losers if the movie flops big time.
